The solution to Kashmir solve many regional problems. The most adement issue thet should be solved is Tibetian problem. USA, Europien counties and UNO should think of this problem very sereouly as millions of Tibetians are replaced from their mother land by an agressor. Now the same agressor encouraging other Asian rug nation fallow him. These nations are supporting terrorism in all respect in Asia.
